Get rid of "flags" and just pass 0". Whatever code wants to pass flags
later can decide how to do that.



How to handle it please see the reply to patch 3.


If patch #3 cannot go in now and has to be deferred, then please clean 
this here up. Otherwise, as suggested, squash with #3.


Depending on KVM_GUEST_MEMFD_ALLOW_HUGEPAGE support :)

We should define kvm_create_guest_memfd() stub in accel/stub/kvm-stub.c.
We can remove this #ifdef.


Nice suggestion! Will use stub.

The reason is, relying on the VM type is sort of hack that we need to
get the MachineState instance and retrieve the vm type info. I think
it's better not to couple them.

More importantly, it's not flexible and extensible for future case that
not all the memory need guest memfd.



Okay. In that case, please update the documentation of all functions

sure, thanks!

I'll note that the name/terminology of "RAM_GUEST_MEMFD" is extremely

[PATCH v3 02/70] RAMBlock: Add support of KVM private guest memfd

2023-11-14 Thread Xiaoyao Li
Add KVM guest_memfd support to RAMBlock so both normal hva based memory
and kvm guest memfd based private memory can be associated in one RAMBlock.

Introduce new flag RAM_GUEST_MEMFD. When it's set, it calls KVM ioctl to
create private guest_memfd during RAMBlock setup.

Note, RAM_GUEST_MEMFD is supposed to be set for memory backends of
confidential guests, such as TDX VM. How and when to set it for memory
backends will be implemented in the following patches.

Introduce memory_region_has_guest_memfd() to query if the MemoryRegion has
KVM guest_memfd allocated.

Signed-off-by: Xiaoyao Li

Changes in v3:
- rename gmem to guest_memfd;
- close(guest_memfd) when RAMBlock is released; (Daniel P. Berrangé)
- Suqash the patch that introduces memory_region_has_guest_memfd().
